Wray & Nephew White Overproof

I don't know what to say other than I really enjoy what I can only assume is the "funk" I've heard others talk about. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it is for me!

Bought this for blending and finishing in cask. The aroma of bananas, high ester taste and burn, a bit of cocoa afterward. Looking forward to the result from a cask.

I’ll start out by saying that I greatly prefer Rum Fire from Hampden Estates for its Jamaican funkiness and hogo overload, but as it’s not nearly as widely distributed as Wray & Nephew, this is a great substitute. Affordable. Tasty, love this rum!

WOW! Don't buy it for parties unless you have cab service to your door. Save this one for your own sipping. And I do mean LITTLE SIPS.

Before I learned about real rums, I thought white rum was flavourless.
That was wrong.
This is one of the more aromatic rums and its flavour profile is pretty unique.

Nose and taste are the same. Over-ripe, possibly already decomposing pineapple, papaya, pears, muddy "funk" notes. Brutishly intense, but that is what is great about it.
Note that it is a dry rum. There is some fruity sweetness, but not much of it. Probably no added sugar here.

Great for sipping, but needs to be diluted (and I do like an ice cube in this).

Great with fruit juice. Pineapple works especially well, but nearly everything else should be worth a try.

I love this as a rum and soda. 2-4 cl of Wray and Nephew White Overproof with 3-5 ice cubes in a glas. Fill with soda water to taste (I like 10-20 cl), add one or more slices of fresh lime or lemon. Makes a very dry, very refreshing longdrink. For reference; I am otherwise a whisky soda guy.

I love this stuff. I spoke mixed drinks with this for an extra punch of abv and flavor. I drink this straight. I want to try as Ti Punch. I also want to try “aging” method with oak staves. Great value!!

Vanilla, fruity, sweet, light alcoholic. The taste is fruity, only light alcoholic, surprisingly mild for the volume.
The finish is also quite soft and not so long.

I'm a little bit disappointed by this rum. Compared to other white Jamaican overproof rums that I've tried, this one has much less hogo. It does have some hogo, which is still appreciable if mixed with just a little juice, like, say, grapefruit juice. But it can't stand against other strong ingredients in long drinks; there the funk practically disappears.

This is arguably the best rum for the price. A lovely funky rum with pineapple and rotting fruit notes that taste like nothing other than a rum from jamaica. With water or ice, it’s an awesome sipper, and does exceptionally well in cocktails.

A Sommelier recommended this rum to my daughter to give me for a stocking stuffer this Christmas and I enjoyed it, which at the end of the day, is all that matters.

It’s a 126 proof rum that’s surprisingly smooth. And it doesn’t have an overpowering taste which is great if you want to mix it with expensive ruhms.

It has a place in my bar.
